Testimonials

"A true professional in a profession inundated with part timers. Jason has enabled my business to grow by always finding the right place at the right time."

Richard Krist - Real Estate Investor (30 Homes)

"Jason will cater to all your needs when searching for a home. He really puts his heart into finding what his clients want."

Mandy Schnupp

"Moving a loved one into a retirement home can be very challenging task. Having to deal with the sale of my mother's home was just another mountain that seemed too high to climb. I was fortunate enough to turn to Jason Rakers at RE/MAX, who was with us from the REALTOR selection to the final closing. Once we signed with Jason, he took over all aspects of the sale, giving me the freedom to deal with the many remaining responsibilities at hand. I literally was able to leave everything to him, with my only involvement being to show up at the closing to sign a few papers for my mother. Thanks, Jason."

Bob Pharis

"Jason provided my new wife and I with the professional guidance needed to buy our first home together. I can't say enough about his great customer service and extensive knowledge of the Pittsburgh area real estate market; he was truly in tune with our needs. I would recommend Jason to anyone wanting to go through the home buying process the right way."

Matthew Costigan

"Jason, Thank you for your exceptional professionalism and tireless work ethic in finding my new home in the cultural district of downtown Pittsburgh. It is great, and I am very impressed with you and all the follow-up after the sale was made. After buying real estate for 28 years you have been the best REALTOR I have ever worked with."

Greg Sorce

"I would recommend Jason to anyone looking to purchase real estate in the Pittsburgh area. His honesty, knowledge of the market, and genuine interest in finding us the right place made the process fun and enjoyable."

Mike and Anthony Venditti

"The service and personal attention that we receive from Jason Rakers at RE/MAX Select Realty is exceptional and unexpected from a REALTOR. Jason is truly a high caliber agent. His knowledge of the local community along with his key contacts has helped us sell many homes. In this difficult time with the economy Jason digs deep to find the right client and execute the sale. His awareness to detail enables Jason to “close the deal” in a quick time frame."

Hendolhurst Homes, Inc.

"By bringing the complete team (from financing, to home inspection, to closing agents) the transaction experience you were able to guide us through, showed how you are an excellent teammate to have on the home relocation process. We truly appreciate your encouragement and positive attitude throughout the whole experience. We look forward to being your neighbor for the foreseeable future. The efforts you extended and insights offered as a realtor are second to none."

Brendan and Sarah Rodgers

"Jason has a unique ability to recognize the value/needs of his clients and ensure that they are fulfilled during the purchase/sale. I believe this is due to his drive, attention to detail, and expertise in the marketplace."

Dr. Richard Foukes

"I have known Jason for more than (10) years. He has always been a person that I can refer my clients to as he is an outstanding professional in his field. Jason has proven himself to be a person who delivers results for his clients. Of more importance is his customer care and friendliness as his dedication to his customers is second to none. I would recommend Jason to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home."

Anthony Mengine

"As a first time home buyer I was very nervous about what I would go through buying a home but it was such a great experience because of RE/MAX and my agent Jason Rakers. Jason provided such a sense of comfort knowing that he had all of my interests in mind, and was hard at work on seeing them realized, all the while instilling a sense of calm through the assurance that no matter the adversity faced he would make sure everything was taken care of. Sure enough I am now the proud owner of my first house and I truly feel I could not have done it without him."

Michael Lake

"I am very impressed with Jason as a person and a professional. Our home sold within a weeks time. I liked Jason so much he is now representing my mother with the sale & purchase of her homes."

Patty Faulhaber

"His unwavering commitment and extensive time spent has consistently elicited positive feedback from all of my candidates and his down to earth and warm personality makes everyone comfortable with making a move during what many experience as a stressful time. I plan to continue utilizing Jason’s experience and expertise for as long as he provides service to the Pittsburgh area."

Matthew Nicols

"I am very grateful to have had someone as professional and knowledgeable as you to guide me through the process of buying my first home. I distinctly remember times when I was stressing out about the home buying process and you would just tell me "chill out, I got this all under control" (and you were right). Finding the home I wanted on my first trip out with you was no surprise considering your excellent knowledge of the area and that you took the time to find out what kind of home would be best for me. I am very thankful to have such a nice home and I have you as my REALTOR for life."

Aaron Zavora

"We recently purchased a home in Marshall Township with the assistance of Jason Rakers. Jason was extremely helpful with all aspects of the transaction, diligent in his follow-up and an asset in this challenging real estate market. We have moved multiple times and this was easily the best realtor experience we have had. Thanks Jason."

Todd and Cynthia Shaffer

"Jason Rakers provided the most efficient and enjoyable real estate search we ever encountered! His skill at assessing our needs was none short of being a mind-reader! He never wavered or lost his good humor and smile. We felt welcomed by RE/MAX and Jason well before we moved to Pittsburgh. Jason Rakers knows real estate and takes the time to know his clients. Not only a professional but a true friend. We know that we are one call away to a new home!"

Ty and Kathy Tafel

"Our experience as first time homeowners with Jason Rakers was excellent. We were very impressed with Jason’s personality and professionalism. Jason managed to work his schedule around ours, made himself available all the time, paid attention to minor details, provided us with an honest opinion and was diligent in his follow-up. We can’t imagine that such a job could be done in a better way than Jason’s."

Doctors Feras and Abeer Alissa

"As a Pittsburgh native who now lives in Berks Co. Pa, I was in a bind when I became responsible to sell my parents real estate in the North Hills. A friend recommended Jason to me and my worries were over. I met with Jason in Pittsburgh, we discussed the particulars of the property and I returned to my home in eastern Pa. Jason kept me informed as to showings and offers and even covered for me at settlement. Honesty and integrity are only two of Jason’s many qualities and I would recommend Jason to anyone without any reservation."

Kevin Martin Sr.

"If I had only one word to describe Jason, even though that would not be enough, it would be DEDICATION. There is not a thing in life that he has not been completely dedicated to once he sets his mind to it. He is absolutely a guy you want on your side in any personal or business endeavor."

Anthony Dougherty

"One thing that we both appreciated was the fact that Jason listened to us and showed us numerous houses that specifically fit our requests. He was careful to show us some of the nuances associated with living in Western Pennsylvania and how they impact home design and availability compared to that in North Carolina. All aspects of the move associated with finding and closing on the home was made very simple for us and handled in a professional manner by Jason."

Tim and Donna Mathis

"We felt Jason had an instant understanding what we were looking for and could weed out homes for us, so we only spent time on the ones that were real possibilities. His hard work and patience lead us to a home we´ll be happy in for years!"

William and Michelle McCarran
